From production hall to folk high school
Every classroom and hang-out area at RoFH has been specifically created for the atmosphere and hands-on approach we want to take place in the room. Our philosophy is that, instead of entering a classroom, you enter a lab filled with the themes and subject of your course.
43.5 by 43.5 meters production hall turned into a folk high school. The building was previously used for concrete manufacturing.
Today, RoFH is the setting for feeling at homeliness, immersion, and creative exploration.
Auditorium
The iconic auditorium creates that special orange feeling – as a reference the Orange Stage at Roskilde Festival – for the morning singing sessions, common meetings, talks, and concerts.
Workshops
All the classrooms of the school are made as workshops for the courses. For instance, the rooms for Music consists of two studios and a venue.
Outdoor areas
RoFH is placed in a flourishing green area, where initiative and community is celebrated. We are in collaboration transforming an old concrete factory into a living and sustainable urban area, with plenty of room to enjoy.
Housing groups
As a student at RoFH, you will live on a floor with 15-20 other students. The housing group creates ‘the small community’ during your stay.
Your room
As a student at RoFH, you will be living in one of six housing groups. Each housing group can accommodate 18 residents in two- and three-person rooms. The heart of the housing group is the common area, where you share a simple tea kitchen, lounge area, and small nooks to work, game, or just meet over a cup of coffee.
A Creative District (in Danish)
The school is situated in Musicon, a lively creative district between Roskilde train station and the festival site. The former concrete factory of 250.000 m2 now houses approximately 50 organizations ranging from start-ups, a theater, cafés, workshops, skate halls, youth housing and rehearsal rooms.
One of our closes neighbors is Ragnarock - a museum for pop, rock and youth culture. The museum is also designed by MVRDV og COBE.
Next to our student housing lies Hal 12 that houses 1600 m2 skate og event facilities.
